$Hexamethylethane$ $"Hexamethylethane"$

Explanation:

${(H_{3} C)}_{3} C - C {(C H_{3})}_{3}$ $(H_3C)_3C-C(CH_3)_3$ . The parent hydrocarbon contains 2 quaternary carbon centres (which cannot be halogenated because it has no hydrogens to substitute), and 6 methyl centres, all of which are equivalent.

Substitution of any methyl centre gives an identical product.

${(H_{3} C)}_{3} C - C {(C H_{3})}_{3} + X_{2} \to {(H_{3} C)}_{3} C - C {(C H_{3})}_{2} C H_{2} X + H X$ $(H_3C)_3C-C(CH_3)_3 + X_2 rarr (H_3C)_3C-C(CH_3)_2CH_2X + HX$
